music in the air

a few years ago, my daughter decided that she wanted to learn to play the piano.   she took lessons and really enjoyed playing the piano but couldn't really relate to the music that her piano teacher was giving her to play.  she continued on but i noticed that she was getting less and less interested as time went on.  i asked her if she still liked and wanted to continue taking piano lessons and playing the piano.  she said she was bored with lessons and didn't want to take them anymore.  that wasn't what i wanted to hear but i listened to what she told me.  
as time went on, i noticed that she would sit at the piano and play more often.  it made me think that she really was just bored with the lessons and maybe the music choices her piano teacher was picking.  i decided to go online and try to find sheet music for the piano that she liked.   i found and ordered music that she listened to in her everyday life.  when she got the music she was so excited!  she went right to the piano and started playing.  she now plays the piano more than she ever did before and i have heard her piano playing improve the more she plays.
